An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I like this one too.
I have painted a version of this on an old cop car I had and it got very positive responses from people
Why limit to the sides when you could go full Mystery Machine?
This one is tempting.
"this way up" and arrow. Should prevent rollover in the event of an accident.
This is a good one. I'm a fan of full body airbrushes.
I loved that movie so much! It’s been a while, should watch it again.
Free candy signs.
Paint it brown. Then commission an artist to design you a sick ass mural. A dragon or maybe a wizard mid cast.
SCREAMING FOR VAN-GENCE
Right idea but way too high quality.
Relatively small piece of cardboard duct taped to the van with something misspelled like "coten candy". That's the perfect panel van vibe.
Everyone will avoid you, cops won't take you seriously (unless you aren't white, in which case, best of luck with a white panel van).
Meatcanyon?!
Airbrush your mom on a flamed vehicle of her choice.
Chariot with wings
Hire an artist to design a Mad fold-in picture that reveals something interesting when you slide the door open.
Notice, it works with text as well.
cover it in cats
Pussy mobile.
Angry upvote
Edit: holy shit, it's SatansMaggottyCumFart, Lemmy royalty!
One can achieve that by running over some felines.
Hire someone to paint a grateful dead album cover on the side. Pay for a vanity plate that says 420GRAN
The cover to Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell 2 album.
fReE cAnDy!
You could make it look like a hot wheel by adding those old school flame decals on the sides, and honestly bonus points if you go around with frosted tips, yellow shades, a flame print shirt and some shorts
Add some solar panels and a portable battery?
It’s an e-transit, so it already is a portable battery. Unless you have it parked in direct sun for several days, the solar panels don’t make up for their weight or their effect on aerodynamics.
The Grim Reaper on a motorcycle made of fire, or a unicorn and dolphins in a Lisa Frank style painting.
Personally, I'd do one on one side, the other on the other.
Wings
A scale painting of your van, but smaller.
But then the painting will have to have a scale painting of a van on it as well, for accuracy's sake.
But then that painting will as well, so keep going till you have that effect when you hold up mirrors to each other.
"A large van"
Hear me out: Catgirls
Do they make glow in the dark paint for auto use? If so, then paint it glow in the dark.
Not FBI sign.
Mystery machine.
